SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC Form No. 552, Annual 

Report of Natural Gas Transactions. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0242. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC Form No. 552 information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information collected in the FERC Form 

No. 552 1 to provide greater 

transparency into the size of the 

physical natural gas market and the use 

of physical fixed-price and index-based 

natural gas transactions. This 

information assists the Commission and 

the public in assessing whether index 

prices are the result of a robust market 

of fixed-price transactions. 

FERC Form No. 552 had its genesis in 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005,2 which 

added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among 

other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to 

facilitate price transparency in markets 

for the sale or transportation of physical 

natural gas in interstate commerce, 

having due regard for the public 

interest, the integrity of those markets,

5Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. Refer to 5 

CFR 1320.3 for additional information. 

6Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage 

figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 

May 2020 (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (issued 

March 2020, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ecec.nr0.htm). The staff estimates that 75% of the 

work is done by a financial analyst (code 13–2098) 

at an hourly cost of $66.09 (for wages plus benefits), 

and 25% of the work is done by legal staff members 

(code 23–0000) at an hourly cost of $142.25 (for 

wages plus benefits). Therefore, the weighted cost 

(for wages plus benefits) is calculated to $85.13/ 

hour [or ($66.09/hour * 0.75) + ($142.25/hour * 

0.25)].
